Tell Me What to See investigates the impact of new technologies on human behaviour and experience. In search of the future, the project focuses on data, algorithms and artificial intelligence.
Our life is getting increasingly controlled by algorithms as vast amounts of data are being created, captured and analyzed.
They can save lives, simplify things and structure chaos. However, there is a great concern that they may place too much control into the hands of corporations and governments, reinforce bias, create filter bubbles, cut choices and lead to greater social imbalances.
Increasingly, we find ourselves in simulated environments. It is becoming difficult to distinguish between real and fake.
What is reality? Are we constructing another reality?
How and what does a machine see? How is it different to our view?
In Tell Me What to See I am investigating these questions by exploring the juxtaposition of reality and artificiality. Consequently, I have generated images in 3 different ways: taken in physical space, artificially constructed in the studio and generated by AI, in an attempt to make the invisible visible.
